| Post Translational Modifications | Extensively phosphorylated on serine and threonine residues in a p38 MAPK-dependent manner which reduces interaction with DLC1 and increases interaction with tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins including BCAR1/p130cas and PTK2/FAK. The majority of the phosphorylated Ser/Thr residues are immediately adjacent to a proline residue. Also phosphorylated on tyrosine residues. Rapidly cleaved by calpain II. |
| Function | May act as a protein phosphatase and/or a lipid phosphatase (Probable). Involved in fibrillar adhesion formation. Essential for myofibroblast differentiation and myofibroblast-mediated extracellular matrix deposition. Enhances RHOA activation in the presence of DLC1. Plays a role in cell polarization and migration. May be involved in cartilage development and in linking signal transduction pathways to the cytoskeleton. |
